Watford and Crystal Palace are ready to battle it out for Getafe goalkeeper Vicente Guaita, although Turkish side Besiktas are also interested.

That is according to Spanish sports newspaper Marca, who report that the two Premier League clubs have both enquired about the 30-year-old.

Guaita is Getafe's first-choice keeper but his contract runs out in the summer.

Therefore, the Spanish side would rather recuperate a fee this month than let him for free in the summer. Marca say that Palace are better placed to sign Guaita, despite Watford originally being linked with him at the weekend, and that the Eagles would pay €4m for the stopper.

Guaita's enjoying a strong season between the sticks too, conceding just 16 goals in 17 La Liga matches, and keeping five clean sheets in the process.

With only two permanent keepers on their books - Heurelho Gomes and Daniel Bachmann, Orestis Karnezis is on loan from Udinese - it is certainly an arez Watford are looking to strengthen.

Swedish youngster Pontus Dahlberg has also been heavily linked, while reports in England suggest a deal is still close, Gothenburg's president suggested he'll stay at the club until the end of the season.
